A Sea Of Red

He isn't rated on 24/7, Scout, Rivals, or ESPN. For those that don't know, 3* usually means a top 750 prospect in the nation. It isn't a small thing to claim. I hope someone will make the claim bona fide, but there is no record of him on the major sites. I can't even find him on Recruit Georgia.

Sounds like weaver committed. Also dearmon tweeted that a lb from alabama committed. We do have an open offer to 2 star lb rayam from alabama if that is him. Would be 2 more solid pulls.

Two more 2-star commitments this weekend

That is now 2 former QB's in the defensive backfield. I like that football IQ on that side of the ball.

So, JMU is listed on Rivals.com as an Independent but not Liberty?
Whoever has the power needs to get us listed.
I am glad to see we are pulling commits in at a solid pace.
My presumption is some (especially the 3 stars) expect play early after their arrival.
Many schools have shown a great staff (FAU, UCF) can make the kids perform ... Let's hope we see that kind of year.

Looks like we're up to 4 guys commiting today. Can't deduce who the last two were.

Ballcoach, any word on who the last 2 commitments are?

I would assume the last to be kevin sha the juco wr who visited last week based on kyles tweet. He had an offer from eastern michigan. No idea on the other one.

Ball Coach does not follow recruiting much, until "signing day", unless he's familiar with the player in high school.

JUCO WR Kevin Shaa joins the list of those committed

So the max class is 25 but mid year enrollees dont count toward that number?

If thats right were looking at 5 more high schoolers and 3 more jucos for mid year right?

Cormier and a qb would appear to be where we would like to use 2 of those 5.

Juco wise i would expect an o lineman and d lineman then maybe a lb or another wr since we offered so many.

Hopefully we get real picky with these last 2 or 3 high schoolers and hopefully we land a couple late big hits.

Sounds like a logical game plan.

Mid-year enrollees technically count towards the previous class size. That's why we could go over 25 in this class. Gill said the plan is the maximum of 25 high school prospects plus another 5-6 mid-year, bringing the total number around 30. We currently have 20, that means room for another 10.

18 current HS commits - room for 7
2 current JUCO commits - room for 3-4

Per ASOR most recent tweet, 18 verbals from HS recruits, here is break down by stars.

3 Star - 4
2 Star - 8
No Star - 6

I think its actually up to 13 of our 18 high schoolers are rated with stars according to the latest up-date to the website.

So, no word on the 4th verbal from this weekend, or was that a false alarm?

I think I was spreading #FAKENEWS. An early tweet said three, and a few hours later I saw about the Juco Wr. Not knowing he was included in the 3.

So, 247 just dropped 3 stars on Dacoda Weaver and i added into the class calculator Emmanuel Cater and Tyren Dupree, who have committed and as we stand right now, our national ranking is 112. If we add Lynum, Ballard/Black, Bebee and maybe Shorter our ranking can break the top 100. It is going to be an exciting finish for us fellas.

One thing I have noticed is Kyle DeArmon has been traveling a lot and going to a lot of the homes of some of our recent commits aka Weaver, Dupree and Shaa. Well today he was in the home of Lynum. The dude is doing some serious work!

Sure that was lynum? Im thinking jt wood

Same

It appears we are visiting all our commits to firm up their commitment before signing day. Makes sense. HOWEVER!!!.......... if Kyle could drop a message to the Lynum family and stop by for dinner this evening, that would be incredible. It is not a super far drive from the Jacksonville airport.

I think yall are right. My B. I got a little excited. . . it is Christmas season

with our new found opening at rb we just offered none other than elijah davis. I know the comp isnt the same as west but hes a battering ram. Reminds me of a faster mosley.

He has offers from jmu odu and hampton all since nov 25. Tech is flirting as well.

And he is rated as a 3 star running back. Further, according to 247 82nd best back in the nation. Pretty legit.

Locking down the locals is a big flex on the P5 guys but I totally understand wanting to get away from home.
